What is a shrinking glacier? Well basically the world’s ice is slowly melting‚ so that also means our glaciers are melting (shrinking). This is a problem worldwide. The oil‚ coal‚ natural gases‚ and fossil fuels we burn affect our atmosphere and increase the temperatures that melt our glaciers. If the glaciers continue to melt rapidly ocean levels will rise‚ there will be flooding‚ there also could be droughts. This is a very serious issue today but I’m just going to tell you about two places for

wash over your feet is an example of wave erosion. Waves cause a type of erosion. This type of erosion is most often seen at the coast or along the edges of rivers and waterways. The velocity of waves are affected by slope‚ discharge‚ and shape of the channel of the waterway. Erosion is found on all coastlines in the world. The effect of wave erosion can last up to millions of years or as little as a year. The Grand Canyon is an example of wave erosion and it took over five million years to form

Tuba Khan Professor Dale‚ Stanley BIO 101 May 2014 Glaciers and Risen Sea Level The article‚ Antarctic glacier melt is unstoppable‚ tells us that glaciers located in the West Antarctic have entered the state of extreme meltdown. Researchers have collected twenty years of data imagery of several glaciers in the Antarctic which show the ice disintegrating into the water. Consequently‚ scientists predict this will cause the increase sea levels to increase. So as the article states‚ it is

Weathering & Erosion Weathering is the process that produces change in the surface of rocks exposed to the atmosphere and/or hydrosphere. Physical weathering is breaking rock by force. ex: hitting‚ scratching‚ cracking Frost action (AKA ice wedging)- Water seeps into small cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands creating great pressure. The crack widens and allows water to seep deeper into the rock. (Robert Frost’s Mending Wall makes a reference to a frost heave

Ways to Prevent Soil Erosion Soil Erosion Although many areas on earth can sustain plant growth‚ only about eight percent of the earth’s surface is covered with good topsoil. While it takes nature hundreds of years to make a few centimeters of topsoil‚ erosion can easily remove it. Without topsoil‚ people cannot raise crops for food.People know that without good soil they cannot raise agricultural crops. They also know from experience that wind and water can easily remove topsoil. Because of

Coastal erosion at Happisburgh‚ Norfolk Happisburgh‚ on Norfolk’s North Sea coast‚ is a village with a population of 1400 people in about 600 houses. The village contains a notable stone church dating from the 14th century‚ an impressive manor house‚ listed buildings and a famous red and white striped lighthouse (Figure 1). Although now a coastal village‚ Happisburgh was once some distance from the sea‚ parted from the coast by the parish of Whimpwell‚ long since eroded away. Historic records indicate

Global warming is a major issue in our world‚ the footage of the Ilulissat Glacier Calving is clear evidence of that. Calving is when large pieces of ice break off at the ends of glaciers creating icebergs. When people talk about global warming‚ they observe the most common effects‚ such as rising temperatures‚ sea level‚ droughts‚ and rain. Few of these issues are as apparent as in the video of the largest glacier calving. When watching the video‚ you see the mass of ice the size of an island split

The section chosen for this investigation was the Urangan beach‚ adjacent to Churchill Street. Its main issue it faces is beach erosion. Erosion is caused by the slow or gradual wearing away of sand‚ and is especially common during storms‚ high tide and rough weather. 2.0 Methodology Primary data was gathered in the form of images taken at the beach and guest speakers (Acworth
